For those who don’t consider themselves particularly great cooks, blanching is super simple and quick, and if you prefer the meal hot, shocking isn’t an absolute must.
As I’ve gotten older I have developed a taste for simple things like blanched fresh vegetables far more than when I was younger. It feels so nourishing even though it isn’t something you could ever find at a restaurant. Thanks for writing this!
I love blanching and while I can agree that it’s not a word that is heard a lot, to me it’s one of the most simple and easy way to cook things! It’s so much easier than steaming and I can perfectly control the doneness.
It’s my favorite method for leafy greens and sweet veggies because it really makes the flavor shine.
That looks amazingly delicious!

Oooh, I’ve been lightly braising leafy greens, it never occurred to me to blanch them! Thank you!
